Animal Interaction Waivers

Disclaimers

If a guest wanting to participate in either the Dolphin Interaction Program or Sea Venture is a minor, meaning he or she is under the age of 18, the “natural guardian” of the minor must sign the appropriate release for that Activity. Discovery Cove cannot accept releases for minors signed by any individual other than the natural guardian. This includes friends, teachers, or any other guardian or custodian who may be accompanying the minor.

Florida law defines what is meant by a “natural guardian”. Pursuant to Florida Statute §744.201, parents jointly are the natural guardians of their own children and of their adopted children, during minority. If one parent dies, the surviving parent remains the sole natural guardian even if he or she remarries. If the marriage between the parents is dissolved, the natural guardianship belongs to the parent to whom sole parental responsibility has been granted, or if the parents have been granted shared parental responsibility, both continue as natural guardians. If the marriage is dissolved and neither parent is given parental responsibility for the child, neither may act as natural guardian of the child. The mother of a child born out of wedlock is the natural guardian of the child and is entitled to primary residential care and custody of the child unless the court enters an order stating otherwise.

If a natural guardian will not be accompanying his or her minor child to Discovery Cove, the natural guardian will need to print the appropriate release from the internet, sign it and attach a copy of his or her driver’s license and then send the release with the minor or any time prior to the minor’s participation in the activity.
